Violent start to new year in Kashmir as blast kills one, injures six.
(From Agence France Presse)
A suspected Islamic rebel was killed by his own bomb and six civilians were injured in a violent start to 2004 in disputed Indian-administered Kashmir, police said.
The militant was carrying explosives on his bicycle into the downtown area of Srinagar, summer capital of the Muslim-majority state of Jammu and Kashmir, when the blast occurred, police chief K. Rajindra Kumar said Thursday.
"The bomb went off and his body was blown to smithereens," Kumar told AFP.
Six bystanders were injured, four of them seriously, he said.
The blast took place hours before Kashmir's chief minister, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, was due to lead a peace rally in the city.
Hopes for peace in the Himalayan region have been spurred by improving relations between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan after they almost went to war in 2002 over Kashmir, which they both claim.
